bunker life

Subterranean survival dwelling

Bunker life refers to an isolated, self-contained existence, often in preparation for or during catastrophic events.

The term evokes survivalists hoarding supplies in underground shelters, waiting out nuclear war or societal collapse.

More loosely, it describes any withdrawn, fortified lifestyle cut off from normal social interaction: After the breakup, I went into full bunker life for a month.
